I have a 800mm piece of wood that I want to cut a 5mm wide grove in (to a

I dont have a router but I do have a cheap pillar drill. Is there a bit

€śroute€ť with my drill?
(The wood in question is one leg of a €śtripod€ť base Ikea lamp. The power
cord dangles down the middle at present and I think it would look a whole
lot better if I could hide the wire along the inside of one leg.)

drills hate side forces on the bearings
I dont care. Its a cheap pillar drill that hardly gets any use. As long
as the bearings last long enough to one decent cut thatll do me.
Do it with a saw.
No suitable saw.
I was wondering about a milling bit. Maybe something like this?
